Why it’s a Monday Morning Maybe

With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.

Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.

Is it for you?

Who'll love it
One for armchair detectives and zombie fans. The investigation drives everything, one lead at a time. Sits nicely alongside The Fly or The Invisible Man. The undead are the backdrop; how people treat each other is the real story.
The mood
Scary.
The pace
Tense from early on, at 1 hr 5 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
What might put you off
  • Made in 1943: an older pace and style.
  • Skip it if you like your stories firmly grounded in the real world.

A university chemistry professor experiments with an ancient Mayan gas on a medical student, turning the would-be surgeon into a murdering ghoul as part of a plan to steal his lover.
